Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 119 Cloud Breaks the Sky!

As the energy crystal was completely absorbed, everyone's cultivation level improved significantly.

"This is a great opportunity! Let's go around and see if we can get any more of these energy crystals. If we have enough, it can greatly improve our cultivation level," Xiao Li said excitedly.

Xiao Li didn't know the connection between the Gate of Life and Death and the Heavenly Tomb, but the presence of such similar energy crystals indicated that they were closely related to the Heavenly Tomb.

Xiao Li didn't plan to think about it too much. The Heavenly Tomb was related to the Dou Di, and the Gate of Life and Death was at least related to the Dou Sheng. So he should focus on cultivation first. Thinking too much would only cause him more trouble.

Over the next period of time, Xiao Li and the others relied on the demon puppets to sweep through the area, but they also discovered a problem: not all the phantoms would drop energy crystals.

Xiao Li was puzzled. Some of the special energy life forms here were similar to remnant souls. Special energy life forms generally did not have much intelligence and their cultivation level was around six-star Dou Zong, but those remnant souls still retained some intelligence.

After entering the second level of the Gate of Life and Death, Xiao Li estimated that it had been about two months. Xiao Li and his group had been traveling through this vast area, and the second level was much larger than the first.

Any energy life forms encountered along the way would eventually be transformed into energy crystals and collected by Xiao Li and the others. Therefore, the harvest in these two months was quite substantial.

In the past two months, Xiao Li's cultivation level has increased to three-star Dou Zong, which is faster than taking a plane. Xiao Li still has Zong Yuan Pills that he hasn't taken yet. Xiao Li feels that he will reach the peak of Dou Zong soon after absorbing this energy crystal.

Besides Xiao Li, everyone else has also made progress. Pei Yuhan's cultivation has reached the eight-star Dou Zong level. It's a pity that she has already taken the Zong Yuan Pill, otherwise she could have improved by another star.

Pei Yuru reached the Seven-Star Dou Zong level. She first reached the Six-Star Dou Zong level by absorbing energy crystals, and then Xiao Li gave her a Zongyuan Pill, which allowed her to reach the Seven-Star Dou Zong level.

Yun Yun absorbed a lot of energy crystals, and her cultivation level improved rapidly, reaching the eight-star Dou Huang level. She was not far from the nine-star Dou Huang level. Xiao Li felt that if she swept through the area again, Yun Yun would reach the nine-star Dou Huang level.

As for Zi Yan, the energy of this energy crystal was quite pure, and it was a great tonic for her. However, Zi Yan didn't eat much of it. First, it didn't taste good, and second, she was burdened with the important task of finding treasure, so her cultivation level didn't improve much.

Zi Yan looked into the distance, narrowed her eyes, tilted her head, and then tugged at Xiao Li's hand: "Xiao Li, there seems to be something over there."

Zi Yan pointed to a spot, and everyone looked in that direction. Everyone had witnessed Zi Yan's special treasure-hunting ability, and at least Xiao Li trusted Zi Yan a lot.

The group walked in the direction Zi Yan pointed. After walking for about ten minutes, they saw a special white sword with several cloud patterns on it and a remarkable sword aura emanating from its blade.

Beside this special white sword sat a skeleton, dressed in a moon-white robe, on which cloud patterns could be faintly seen.

"This is! The Cloud Soul Sword! It's the Ancestral Master's sword, how could it be here! Could that corpse be the Ancestral Master?!" Yun Yun exclaimed, recognizing the special white sword at a glance.

"Ah? Ancestor Yun Potian is here?" Xiao Li exclaimed in surprise, never expecting that Yun Potian, the founder of the Yunlan Sect, would perish in this place.

"For a Dou Zun expert to fall, this place must be dangerous." Xiao Li arrived at the corpse, sensed it with his soul, and discovered something was wrong.

"Young man, using your soul power to probe the body of a Dou Zun expert is extremely disrespectful!" A deep, majestic voice rang out, and a phantom figure emerged from the corpse.

The old man wore a moon-white robe with cloud patterns, his beard and hair were all snow-white, his face was old, and there was a sharpness in his seemingly calm eyes.

"Grandmaster!" Yun Yun exclaimed. Although he looked older, Yun Yun still recognized the old man in front of her as Yun Potian, the Grandmaster of the Yunlan Sect.

"Oh? Little girl, do we know each other? You seem to be practicing the techniques of my Yunlan Sect. Could you be a descendant of my Yunlan Sect?" Yun Potian looked at Yun Yun and guessed based on her battle aura.

"Yun Yun, the ninth sect master of Yunlan Sect! Greetings, Ancestor!" Yun Yun bowed deeply to Yun Potian.

"Oh? The ninth sect master! Very good, very good. My Yunlan Sect has already reached the ninth generation. Not bad, not bad. You are still very young. Your cultivation has reached the eight-star Douhuang level. Not bad, not bad."

Yun Potian's face lit up with a smile when he saw Yun Yun; Yunlan Sect was something he always cared about.

"Yun Yun, what brings you here? This place is not ordinary; it's not a place you can enter with just your Dou Huang cultivation level. There are also other people here who haven't cultivated the techniques of my Yunlan Sect, so they must not be from my Yunlan Sect."

Yun Potian looked at the other people: one was an eight-star Dou Zong, one was a seven-star Dou Zong, one was a three-star Dou Zong, and there was another who was too weak and was ignored by Yun Potian.

"Master Qi, my partner and I entered the Gate of Life and Death in search of an opportunity. We heard from Master Yunyanrou that you might be here, so we came here to look for you." Yunyun simply told Yun Potian what had happened.

"Oh, so it's Yan Rou. I didn't expect she hadn't broken through to the Dou Zun level. What a pity. The others are probably from Zhongzhou, right? These two girls are emitting strange fluctuations with a special melody. They must be disciples of Yin Gu."

Yun Potian glanced at Pei Yuhan and Pei Yurou, and roughly guessed their identities from the rhythm of their fighting spirit.

Pei Yuhan nodded and clasped her hands together, saying, "Senior Yun is amazing. I am indeed a disciple of Yin Gu."

"I didn't expect to see people from the Sound Valley in this remote border region of the Northwest Continent. Could it be that the Sound Valley has absorbed my Yunlan Sect?" Yun Potian said with an unfriendly expression.

"No, Senior Yun. I am Yun'er's partner and an elder of the Yunlan Sect. Furthermore, I am the Holy Son of the Yin Valley. These two are people sent by the Yin Valley to protect me," Xiao Li said loudly as he stepped forward.

"Oh? The Holy Son of Yin Valley? I didn't expect you, a junior, to be the Holy Son of Yin Valley. Your soul power is quite good, reaching the Spirit Realm, but you are full of fire energy and have no musicality. How can you become the Holy Son of Yin Valley?" Yun Potian asked in confusion.

Xiao Li smiled faintly and took out the Danhui badge, sticking it to his chest.

"Damn, an eighth-grade alchemist certified by the Pill Tower! No wonder, I was wondering why. I've dealt with people from Yin Valley before, and you don't look like one of them at all."

An eighth-grade alchemist, someone even I would treat with respect. What a pity I didn't meet you sooner! Otherwise, I might still be saved. What a shame.

Yun Potian said with a self-deprecating smile.

Yun Yun frowned: "Ancestor, what happened to you? How could someone as powerful as you have fallen to such a state?"

Yun Potian shook his head: "Sigh~ It's my fault for being weaker than others. Yun Yun, tell me about the Yunlan Sect. I want to hear how the Yunlan Sect is doing now."

Yun Yun nodded and began to tell Yun Potian about the events that had happened in the Yunlan Sect since Yun Potian's disappearance, as well as the past sect leaders.
